The Most Holy Virgin made me comprehend the Great Grace
I had received, and the correspondence with which I was to

correspond to the Love of Jesus.

My Spouse Jesus gave me new rules in order to live more
perfectly, but since it has been a long time, I don’t remember

them so well; therefore I will skip them. And so it ended, for
that day.

Who can say the finesses of Love that Jesus made to my
soul? They were such and so many that it is impossible to
describe them, but I will try to say the little I remember.

Sometimes, carrying me with Him, He would take me
to Paradise, and there I could listen to the canticles of the
Blessed, and I could see the Divinity, the different choirs of

Angels, the orders of the Saints, all immersed in the Divinity

there were many Lights around the Throne, as if they were
more brilliant than the sun; and these Lights displayed in

clear notes all the Virtues and the Attributes of God. The
Blessed, by reflecting themselves in one of these Lights,
remained enraptured, in such a way that they could not arrive

at penetrating the whole Immensity of that Light, therefore
they would move to a second Light, without understanding
all the depth of the first one. So, the Blessed in Heaven
cannot comprehend God perfectly, because the Immensity,

the Greatness, the Sanctity of God is such, that a created mind
cannot comprehend an uncreated Being. Now, it seemed to

me that by reflecting themselves in these Lights, the Blessed
would come to participate in the Virtues of these Lights. So,
in Heaven, the soul resembles God with this difference:
God is that immense Sun, while the soul is a little sun.

But who can say all that can be understood in that Blessed
Dwelling? While the soul is in this prison of the body, it is
impossible; while one can feel something in the mind, the

lips do not find the terms to be able to express it. It seems
to me that it is like a child who begins to babble; he would
like to say so many things, but in the end he remains without
